STERNE
Gestern hat jemand
ganz viele Kerzen
in die Ruinen gestellt.
Zwischen den Kerzen
sind sie gestanden,
haben Geige gespielt
und einen Psalm rezitiert.
Mutter und Tochter.
Nachher haben Xiao Xiao und ich
Gedichte gelesen.
Kerzen sind kein Problem,
Kerzen sind wie der Mond
in den Ruinen.
Du kannst Geige spielen,
kannst lesen und singen
was immer du willst.

星星
昨晚有人
放很多蜡烛
在废墟上
站在中间
拉小提琴
背诵圣经
一对母女
最后还有
诗人朗读
蜡烛不怕
月亮不怕
在废墟里
蜡烛不怕
可以拉琴
可以唱歌
可以读诗

STARS
Last night someone
put down many candles
on the ruins.
Then they stood there,
played a violin
and recited a Psalm.
Mother and daughter.
At the end two poets
did some of their stuff.
The candles are fine,
like the moon, don’t be scared,
the candles are fine in the ruins.
You can play your violin,
you can sing,
you can recite
whatever you like.

SOUND
From the platform
up on the mountain
you can see the ruins
of the art museum,
best bring field glasses.
Sounds of demolition
reverbrate through the valley.
What a big factory!
There is no bigger industry
than demolition
in Shayukou village
in Qiaozi town
in Huairou district,
north of Beijing.

声音
从山上平台
看艺术馆
用望远镜
能看废墟
强拆声音
远远响应
像大工厂
北京怀柔
桥梓镇
沙峪口村
拆艺术馆
目前没有
更大企业

Time To Say No! is an initiative inspired by Malala Yousafzai. There is a presentation in Brazil today. Yesterday there was a press conference and poetry reading in Vienna, organized by Austrian PEN. Time to Say No! is about rights. Education and dignity, which means not to be violated, are basic rights of all human beings. We heard female writers from Kenya, Sudan, Iran, India, Bulgaria, a wonderful male voice from former Yugoslavia, Austrian voices: Philo Ikonya, Ishraga Hamid, Sarita Jemanani, Boško Tomašević, Dorothea Nürnberg…. And two poems from China. The first one was “YOUR RED LIPS, A WORDLESS HOLE” 你空洞無聲的欲言紅唇 by Sheng Xue 盛雪, English translation by Maiping Chen and Brenda Vellino, German translation by Angelika Burgsteiner. The second poem from China was Lily’s Story 丽丽传 by Zhao Siyun 赵思云. The book Time To Say No, edited by Philo Inkonya and Helmuth Niederle, also contains poems by Ana Schoretits, Chantelle Tiong 张依蘋, Hong Ying 虹影, Reet Kudu, Wu Runsheng 吴润生 and many, many others.
